Re: Installation on mandriva 2006

Hi all, hi Hendrick,

Just a note on this.

I was trying to install pgadmin3-1.4.3-1.i686.rpm on CentOS 4.4 with
PostgreSQL 8.1.4, but I could not install the PgAdmin3 1.4.3 because it
requires the /usr/lib/libpq.so.3.
I tried to do the symbolic link and for my surprise it did not work,
it complained in the same way, even after rebooting, just in case.
libpq.so.3 was not in my "ldconfig -p".

As this workaround did not work, I had to "break" yum/RPM
"integrity/consistency", which I really do not like.
I ended up forcing the RPM installation of
postgresql-libs-7.4.13-2.RHEL4.1 ...
This RPM rewrote some locale files, so after that I forced the
resinstallation of my postgresql-libs-8.1.4-3PGDG.

Is there a real solution ofr this issue?

I am not a MySQL fan, but MySQL has a compatibility-libs pkg/RPM that
takes care od issues like this...
I have not seen something similar for PostgreSQL and I have not found
anything else on the Internet about this issue...

This is my config:

CentOS 4.4
Linux localhost 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL #1 Tue Aug 22 23:56:05 CDT 2006 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux
rpm -qa | egrep -i -e "(postg)|(pg)|(wx)|(sdl)" | sort:
gnupg-1.2.6-6
gpg-pubkey-443e1821-421f218f
libgpg-error-1.0-1
pgadmin3-1.4.3-1
postgresql-8.1.4-3PGDG
postgresql-contrib-8.1.4-3PGDG
postgresql-libs-7.4.13-2.RHEL4.1
postgresql-libs-8.1.4-3PGDG
postgresql-server-8.1.4-3PGDG
SDL-1.2.7-8
wxGTK-2.6.3-2.6.3.2.1

Sure.

Use the RPM which is suitable for your platform. This is Red Hat (so its
clone) problem if you install PGDG RPMs instead of Red Hat RPMs. RH
provide 7.4 RPMs, and they build php-pgsql stuff and other related
things with libpq3. Recent PGDG RPMs for RHEL 4 provide libpq.so.4.
That's why we built a compat lib that solves this problem. Just run rpm
-ivh against this.

I think you should Google a bit more before talking about My$QL (it
drives me crazy).
